Sun Lakes Arizona Homes For Sale - Homes For Sale Sun Lakes Arizona Our real estate market here in Arizona is really trying hard to make a comeback.  The number of homes for sale has dropped dramatically in most areas of the Phoenix Metro area.  The number of foreclosed homes for sale has dropped by nearly half in the last year. Sun Lakes is actually a little different than other cities in the Valley of the Sun.  Most of the homes in Sun Lakes are owned by retirement aged owners.  Many of the homes are second homes.  Foreclosures are rare, so prices for the most part are very stable. The Sun Lakes market is strong, though.  Year to date there have been 311 sales, with an average sale price of $197,599.  In 2005, there were 542 sales and the average sale price was $261,984.  While some a...

Sun Lakes Arizona Age Requirement - Age Requirement Sun Lakes Arizona The Federal Fair Housing Law requires that the Sun Lakes Homeowner's Associations know the ages of all the owners/persons living in their units on a permanent basis. A minimum of 80% of the homes must have one person 55 years of age or older. That 20% may be as young as 40, so long as there are no year-round children younger than nineteen in the household. So Sun Lakes may be a good fit for some of the incoming Intel employees.  You've probably seen the cranes up there to the north.  Intel is expanding.  By 2013, Intel will need 1,000 additional employees to operate what may be the world's most advanced high technology fabrication facilities. Intel has manufacturing facilities currently referred to as Fab 12 and Fab 3...

Sun Lakes Arizona Home Sales - Home Sales Sun Lakes Arizona As this graph shows, monthly sales in Sun Lakes Arizona have been fairly brisk, up to July when they took a dip down to around 13-18 sales per week.  Right now it looks like a repeat of 2009, so sales for the remainder of the year should increase. There are fewer homes for sale right now than in June, and the seasonal demand historically begins with the return of winter visitors, but as you can see on the graph, 2010 sales did not start increasing until December.  So if you are a buyer, this is a great time to be in the market with less competition from other buyers.  If you are a seller, this is a great time to have your home available as the number of homes offered is less than in the last few years Bottom line, it's a great ...

Everyone is talking about real estate in Sun Lakes.  Spend time at the pool or restaurants and you can often hear discussions about home values and recent sales.  The truth is in the numbers provided below.  What does it all mean?  Well, in a nutshell, our values in Sun Lakes have fallen but not as much as they have in other areas of the Valley.  Homes are selling, but the homes that ARE selling are priced where they need to be.  It's great to be hopeful that as a seller, you will get more than market value for your home, but the reality is you will often waste precious time in a market that is not stable with values that could drop further.  So you eventually end up selling your house for less than you would have if you'd priced it correctly at the onset.  Now, not only do you have to ...

Sun Lakes AZ Lions Club Fly the Flag Program - Lions Club Fly the Flag Program Sun Lakes AZ In previous articles, the Sun Lakes Fly the Flag Program has been mentioned.  This weekend with the remembrance of the 2001 terrorist attack - Patriot Day (not Patriot's Day), the Sun Lakes Lions Club went to work placing the United States Flag at several strategic locations throughout Sun Lakes.  What a glorious sight to see. If you live in Sun Lakes and you did not take a cruise around to see the Red White and Blue being flown wherever the Sun Lakes Lions Club was asked to place it, you missed a sight to behold.  Some of these pictures give you an example of what the Lions Club did for Sun Lakes.           Let's give the Sun Lakes Lions Club a big round of applause for their effort and show the...

One of my old neighbors would sit out on his front porch and watch what was going on around the neighborhood.  When asked what he was doing, he would say, "Nothin', and I ain't done with that yet.!" When you go looking for an Active Adult Community to choose as your retirement community, Sun Lakes Arizona will obviously end at the top of your list.  The opportunities here are amazing.  There's probably not any activity you could expect to find that is not offered at Sun Lakes. One example, the Sun Lakes Lions Club conducts the Sun Lakes Fly the Flag Program.  On chosen holidays throughout the year, club members install flags in the front yard of Sun Lakes homes, to create a breathtaking patriotic event for all to enjoy.   Many, if not all of the Sun Lakes activities, are mentioned on-li...

Sun Lakes Arizona Homes For Sale - Homes For Sale Sun Lakes Arizona The graph above illustrates two past years and the current year Sun Lakes Arizona Homes For Sale Active Listings.  Notice that the number of Active Listings in 2011 is decreasing and is nearly in line with the number of Active Listings for sale in 2002 and 2005.  These past years were chosen simply for illustration.  By the graph you can see that the number of Active Listings at the beginning of 2011 was about 100 more homes than the current number - almost 250 at the first of the year and just under 150 now. Considering the price of homes for sale in 2005, it would be a logical conclusion that there should be a lot of upward pressure on home prices now.  It will be interesting to see how this coming winter visitor mark...

As an example, a subdivision entitled Sun Lakes 2, is part of Sun Lakes Country Club; while other "Sun Lakes" legal descriptions may be in any of the five HOA area...
